Digitization Notice Board

The University of Massachusetts Amherst Libraries is embarking on an ambitious, multi-year project, to digitize more than a hundred years' worth of dissertations and theses. This ensures the preservation of this important body of work, and enhances access to it. You can view current dissertations and theses, and those that have been digitized, at ScholarWorks.UMass.edu/ETDs.

As we move through the collection of thousands of theses and dissertations, we will be approaching the individual authors to notify them of the digitization, offer them an opportunity to control distribution, and an opportunity to get an electronic copy of their dissertation. We include below a list of works whose authors did not respond to our notices, or whom we were not able to locate. Authors will be listed by their degree-granting department.

If you are a copyright holder for one of these works, and would like to provide additional information about a work, or discuss rights and access to the work, please contact us at mbanach at library.umass.edu.
